Reports <code>Serializable</code> classes where the <code>readObject</code>
or <code>writeObject</code> methods are not declared private.
There is no reason these methods should ever have a higher visibility than <code>private</code>.
<p>
  A quick-fix is suggested to make the corresponding method <code>private</code>.
</p>
<p><b>Example:</b></p>
<pre><code>
  public class Test implements Serializable {
    public void readObject(ObjectInputStream stream) {
      /* ... */
    }
  }
</code></pre>
<p>After the quick-fix is applied:</p>
<pre><code>
  public class Test implements Serializable {
    private void readObject(ObjectInputStream stream) {
      /* ... */
    }
  }
</code></pre>
